I gave these 5 stars simply because they're exactly what they claim to be.......which is something rare in magic! I bought mine (on Amazon.com) from Martinka Magic........these were released by Magic Makers, but all that is moot anyway, because USPCC makes all of them......so it doesn't matter who "sells" them. Small point, though, I like Magic Makers little insert they put in as a part of the packaging....it has a neat Victorian look to it.
